Symposium celebrates the man behind the "Jewel"
This week, the City of Grinnell and Grinnell College are co-sponsoring a mini-symposium on Louis Sullivan, the architect of the town's iconic Merchants National Bank. Sullivan, who envisioned the modern skyscraper and mentored Frank Lloyd Wright, designed the bank in 1915 as part of a series of "jewel box" banks and public buildings across the Midwest. The symposium includes films, lectures and a "birthday celebration" on September 3, the sesquicentennial of Sullivan's birth.
